95 bytes added, 6 years ago
+note
The '''Padmasana''' or '''Lotus Position''' is a cross-legged sitting asana originating in meditative practices of ancient India, in which the feet are placed on the opposing thighs. It is an established asana, commonly used for meditation, in the Hindu Yoga, Jain and Buddhist contemplative traditions. The asana is said to resemble a lotus, to encourage breathing proper to associated meditative practice, and to foster physical stability.
 
This is one of the Asanas prescribed in [[Hatha Yoga Pradipika (book)|Hatha Yoga Pradipika]].
